An unforgettable experience... What can I say? A dreamy, peaceful, magical place! Caring staff, smiling and welcoming locals... If, like me, you plan to spend only a few days there, just plan for more! You might even want to go back!Feedback on my experience:I made a tourist trip to Thailand at the end of July, beginning of August 2023. My primary objective, in backpack mode, was to explore this country for the first trip of my life, and to return to the same period in 2024 with my three children, to introduce them to Thailand and then Cambodia, the country of their origins. So I left in explorer mode to discover alone before going there next year with them.I spent a few days in Bangkok, exploring very touristy places, but also restaurants lacking in flavors and spices (you have to know the good addresses, but when you're on an adventure, you discover).Then I went to Trat, a village on the borders of Cambodia, where I stayed for two to three nights. I was able to make contact with a person on the island of Koh Mak, named Yodying. After a few attempts to contact by email with no response, I tried by phone, and there, the beginning of an adventure. Yodying answers me, gives me a phone number to help me organize my visit to the island. Everything unfolded like a fairy tale.From my hotel, the taxi ride to the boat, the boat trip, and the stay on the island were organized quickly and efficiently, in less than 10 minutes. If one day I were to start a business, it would be with people of the same caliber as Yodying! Thank you very much!Initially planned for one week, I finally extended my stay to two weeks. Go ahead with your eyes closed and embark on an incredible adventure!The reason for my choice for this island? Muay Thai! An exceptional sports complex, with professional coaches. Two one and a half hour sessions every day, except Tuesdays, were pure joy! For lovers of other activities, there is the possibility of playing table tennis, using the weight room, practicing yoga and tennis. Even though I didn't try everything, I enjoyed the pool and the sea!After the physical effort, a dream landscape and exceptional restaurants await you. There is something for everyone, massage parlors, and much more. A quick break with a drink, whether it's a coffee or a fresh coconut on a pier, feels like floating above the water, while admiring the sunset. How to better end your day after 3 hours of Thai boxing training? Even better! discussions and exchanges with Yodying, meals shared with the coaches in superb restaurants.Thanks Yodying for everything! Thank you for allowing me to meet you, to practice muay thai with these two exceptional training brothers, and for having experienced an extraordinary adventure. Not one, but ultimately two unforgettable weeks to repeat!To underline how intense and real this experience was, I would like to reaffirm here that my door in France is wide open to you, Yodying, with pleasure in welcoming you to my home. Looking forward to seeing you again, whether on the island, at home, or perhaps in another country!

We booked at Good Times Resort for an expected 17 days and initially planned to stay even longer from all of the positive images and nice conversation with the owner, Yodying I had.Once we got there, the bed and pillows were extremely hard, and the "kitchen" I was promised was just a sink on the balcony outside with some coffee cups and an electric tea pot.The room uses the same wifi as the check in "co work" station, so I could not hold a connection while in the room. Major issue as a remote worker.Internet was good in the co work area.They are horribly understaffed, with the co owner Kerstin working in the morning, and an older gentleman Mr. Peak working the entire rest of the day by himself.He is always running around and while his energy levels are truly impressive, it leaves the resort very hard to reach anyone when an issue arises. There is just too much on Peak's plate for everything to be taken care of.We were left without a ride back after taking a boat to Koh Chang, and I couldnt get a hold of anyone except Yodying, who was not on the island.He was very emotionally charged and told me to blame Mr. Peak and threaten he will get fired. I told him it is not my responsibility to tell him that and I wasn't even that mad.. just trying to figure out if I should buy a taxi or not.He offered a refund, which I took, because of the stress of not being able to get work done efficiently and the uncomfortable bed and kitchen.Yodying proceeded to argue with me via text and was even rude at points. I will say Kerstin and Mr. Peak were very kind, but Yodying was rude and stress inducing to speak withAfter some back and forth, he sent me a partial refund for the remaining time about 3 days after we left the islandAs for the island itself... its pretty cool and little. Good for a short term stay in my opinion. The beaches have lots of bars along, so its not clear if you need to be staying at a resort or be a customer at a bar to use the beach. Free spots can be found though if you explore. Limited restaurants, so expect to eat almost entirely Thai food throughout the day. Food is great at them thoughAll in all, if you want to stay at Koh Mak, I'd recommend one of the other accommodations and resorts

If you are coming to Koh Mak you will not regret your stay at Goodtimes Resort, its a home away from home without any negativity, a paradise, on a paradise island. I would personally recommend longer stays as the Island has so much to offer; and if you are here for whatever type of wellbeing, then there is no better place. I really like it here... the large tropical jungle that sorrounds the banglows really brings you back to nature and peace. The place represents the islands vision of health, exercise and wellbeing; facilities include a pool, gym and yoga, and with extension the use of sports facilities at Koh Mak Tennis Club (Tennis courts -Indoor & Outdoor-, table tennis, basketball and badminton). The Island also has the best Muay Thai gym for all levels of experience, and staying at this resort allows you to take advantage of discounted prices when attending these sessions. The community of this resort are so kind and welcoming, they will really take care of you and the accomadations are beautiful. Hope your visit will be as special as all mine have been.

Super nice, uncomplicated and prompt service for all questions and concerns. The accommodation was spacious and had everything we needed, great pool, yoga option and the best coffee on the island! Thank you Kerstin and Mr. Great that you made this great week on Koh Mak possible for us!

A beautiful complex in the middle of the paradise of Koh Mak. If you're looking for a mix of sport and relaxation, you've come to the right place. It's a wonderful experience, thank you for everything.

Our 3rd time here on Koh mak, and we absolutely love coming back. Koh mak sport village is growing each time, with the muaythai gym just a small scooter ride away, also in the same facility there are many gym equipments for fitness. Muaythai classes are great way to keep fit while we are on holidays. We also love the tennis court (indoor) not too far from the muaythai gym. There's table tennis and stand up paddle board waking distant away. We stayed in one of the apartments, was spacious surrounded by lush green tropical plants. There's a fridge in the room and an air-conditioning (which we only used a couple of times) rooms are cool in the night with sea breeze through the fly screen doors. We have met the owners (Yodying) and he was extremely accomodating. they can arrange the scooter hire at the desk also anything else needed with the help from desk, Khun peark. We are looking forward to coming back for longer stay which we already planning another trip back.

The Good Time Resort is an extremely spacious facility, the best conditions for peace and relaxation!This also applied to the actual accommodation, bright, airy and carefully furnished!It's just a few minutes' walk to the sandy beach or beaches, including perfect sunrises and sunsets!There is also a well-maintained pool where it is a pleasure to swim a few laps every day!The service begins with pick-up at the pier and offers all kinds of support throughout your stay, for example booking snorkeling courses and renting bicycles or scooters. You can completely trust the tips for restaurants and bars 😊 - I felt perfectly looked after without any intrusiveness!I'll definitely be back!!

Super nice location, central and yet quiet. Spacious rooms with garden or sea views from the first floor.Price/performance ratio was okay in the low season, but without breakfast. Nice, small pool, but unfortunately no loungers, just a few chairs.The rooms and furnishings are getting old and definitely need a renovation.

On my way to Koh Chang I happen to meet one of the owners of this resort and we had such a nice chat that I decided to join him later on at Koh Mak. Both of the owners put alot of love and effort in the resort. They make you feel at home and the make you feel part of the family. This means when you feel like you can join them and meet for dinner, have chats and play tennis.The island is amazing. Cause everything you need is there but its still so pure and serene. No big shopping streets or noisy busy bars. Though you can go out for nice drinks and have great food. I stayed in one of the nicely decorated bungalows. The sound of frogs and birds is amazing. Your near the nice pool which is surrounded by tropical trees and I find it big enough to sporty swim and workout. There is a tropical garden and lovely dogs running around to play with. They even guarded my bungalow at night. There is an open air gym in the garden which has all you need and i used it three times. There is a local manager who takes swiftly care of things you need of any kind. Very helpful.Not to forget there is an indoor and outdoor tennis court 5 min drive by scooter. I loved it and we played like 2 times a day. Im definitely coming back and recomend going to this resort.
